It's a great laugh. It's a Comedy not a suspense thriller. This is what shopping in a mall is all about.

Format:DVD
There are moments in this comedy where you chuckle but no outright laughs-a-go-go. The title character's name is hilarious and the fact he patrols a mall on a Segway gets a few laughs. The reliance on many American comedies to add some sort of violent criminal act as the basis of comedy high jinx I still find bizarre.
Given that throughout the movie I could not figure out why the criminals were jumping around like circus acrobats, riding skateboards and BMX bikes in the mall. It just seemed nonsensical. That is until you get the extras. There are 49 minutes of extras on the DVD and at first, you scratch your head as to why a B movie comedy would have that length of extras. Then you watch and see that the criminals are all basically "pro" skateboarders/BMX riders hence all the fancy moves. Plus you'll be totally enthralled by parkour and free running (for the uninformed, Wiki both). Honestly, a documentary on that would be worth five stars.
That's what is so bizarre about this movie. They obviously hired topnotch "stunt" people and a name actor. Sadly, the script is lacking in any consistent comedic touches. I'll add it's an Adam Sandler project who has not done a decent movie in about eight years.

my hopes for this movie were pretty low,so imagine my surprise when it
shattered my expectations and it turned out to be a very a good
movie.sure,there's a bit of corn and cheese and ham,and what's wrong
with that,in moderation.but there are also some good laughs,some
touching moments and a what i thought was fairly solid story with heart
and depth..Kevin James is pretty easy to like.throw in a possible
romantic love interest and you can't help but root for the guy.all i
know is, my fiend and i had a great time with this movie.for me,Paul
Blart:Mall Cop is an easy 4/5
